‘Invited, not summoned’

NSCN/GPRN (K) responds to DAYO

Dimapur, August 30 (MExN): The NSCN/GPRN (K) on Sunday issued a clarification regarding the Dimapur Ao Youth Organisation (DAYO)’s statement regarding the kidnapping incident which took place on August 26.

Referring to the alleged ‘summon’, which the DAYO declined on Saturday, the NSCN/GPRN (K) said that there was no clarity on the issue and allegations were being hurled through media. “Therefore to resolve the matter for once without any malice, the organisations were invited in good will and was not a summon as assumed,” it clarified.

The NSCN/GPRN (K) also said that the meeting was initiated only to put the misunderstanding to rest and not for ‘parallel deliberation’ of the case, as it was felt that DAYO, ALT, Symbios Pvt Ltd. were being dragged unnecessarily into the issue since the case of duping/forgery was entirely between Rohit Chaudhury and its cadres.

The NSCN/GPRN (K) through its MIP also responded to the DAYO’s statement where it had claimed that fabricated allegation was levelled against the Association by the NSCN of having taken away a lady employee of Symbios Pvt.Ltd and also forcibly filing FIR in the said case.”

The entire episode that took place inside the West PS on August 26 as narrated in the earlier press statement was witnessed by the arresting officer Vikishe and staff of the station and contains no discrepancies as such, the NSCN/GPRN (K) maintained.

“The DAYO must stand corrected on the refutation since the statement nowhere in its entirety indicated or implicated DAYO of its involvement in the episode at west PS,” it asserted, while adding that it was without doubt that the Ao youths who came in large number to the PS were from Dimapur and not from any other place. “As such it was mentioned as Dimapur Ao youths and not as DAYO in any manner,” it clarified.

The case being subjudiced, the NSCN/GPRN (K) said that it also felt it an “act of perjury on the part of the concerned organisations to have given one-sided condemnation as kidnapping case instead of allowing the police and the judiciary to do their duties un-influenced.”

The NSCN/GPRN (K) said that it has been left with no choice but to initiate investigation to “ensure that the culprits are punished irrespective of the affiliations of the accused or suspects.”
